edwife:Yes naa..Someone told me there are babalawos Ewuro4 ![]() |
baby124:Apart from the fact that I don't actually know how to break down the posts I don't get it .Na theses ni? Typing reports and coursework I neva finish sef Ewuro e don do naa My first post on this thread was about how parents need to think of being good examples. I know NL is anonymous and all but would all the parents who have been swearing on this topic be happy for their kids to read all this. Na wa such hate and vitriol for people we might never ever meet |
coogar:Awww coogar is a gentleman But no thank you I cant let someone take out his frustrations on me. besides I am a healthy young chic let's save it for the pregnant women, old people and people with lil children..Let me catch up on the news and head to bed jare. |
coogar:Any man ke.. You have forgotten its 'Everyman for himself in the belly of the beast' All them investment banker types that get off at Canary Wharf that one will think will be' posh and gentlemanly' fa fa foul na dem go first give you elbow. rush hour London town respects nobody even the queen herself May the Lord (seeing that he is even a pastor) grant this heartbroken husband comfort and peace. |
coogar:Ok so now that he has told his story and we are arguing for say another 40 pages on NL how will that change anything? Its pointless to me sha but I guess we see things differently. He should see a therapist if he needs to destress.Wo Coogar I am going to bed ojare....I need to save my strength for standing on the Jubilee line tomorrow morning i can't remember the last time I actually sat down on that rubbish train so I can't even have time to recognise anybody on it. ![]() |
coogar:Wa ever ![]() But coogar I thought sometimes cheating was justified this woman was not being satisfied in bed and rather than nag she just decided to help her husband get someone to do his job Is that not what men whose wives get fat or have the libido of a shoe (abi is it slippers ) do? Rather than complain and complain she just got him a helper ![]() But jokes apart, she cheating =not cool He deciding to have a moanfest on youtube= not so cool either These are grown folks nitori oloun...the internet has a very very good memory.I guess this is his own of getting his own revenge sha I.e. tarnishing her image . Someone googled her name already on this thread and see the search results ![]() I believe that if people can decide to stay in a marriage for the children's sake people should also try to be civil at separation also for the children's sake. |
coogar:Leave my red brick in ado ekiti as long as the school has buildings with red bricks all na red brick ![]() |
coogar:The two of them both (before any wole soyinka ITK gets on my case the tautology was intentional ) awon in yoruba is a multiple pronoun. |
chaircover: CC you are hiding this your talent o we need a nigerian version of Miranda Hart in the UKBut jokes apart the airtight containers TV spoke about really work well at least for 3 days.Also I don't know if your fridge has a veg compartment (my fridge is not Beko sha besides were they not even exploding one time ) you can also store there and regulate the temperature. This part of the fridge

coogar:Coogar why is this definition so similar to your ijebu definition ![]() I don't know why folks never think about their children when doing stuff awon agbaya dede |
wonlasewonimi:It won't already be in ofe nsala at Billingsgate now ![]() Besides this woman (moi) is too lazy to be trawling cold rooms at 5am in the morning mbanu whatever saving I will make I will happily dash the fishmongers ![]() |

Well said Pickabeau.. Do you have the confidence to approach different places to pitch providing them a service e.g things like the fruit salad etc that pickabeau mentioned. Where do you live? Are you able to get childcare if it means you might have to do a longer commute to places with a high concentration of businesses e.g Ikeja the island? |
You just gotta love George Galloway ![]() Coogar I saw your mention o but I no get power to argue this night you are right Harriet Harman is a witch (not).. She is a labour politician so she is meant to be liberal and progressive naa it part of the left wing territory even Ed Milliband and Barrack Obama are feminists ![]() |
What happened here ![]() |
This topic is a a bit broad and often the term 'career' scopes such a broad spectrum that works for A might not work for B but I will try sha. It depends on what you do, where you are in marriage, location and alot of factors.I know Nigeria is a bit behind say places like Europe concerning family friendly corporate policies but we will get there someday. First if you can (not cast iron sha) but try to get as many certifications as you can before the kids start rolling in.My younger sister is getting married this year and when she was dilly dallying on whether to postpone going for her masters last year I was the first person who told her to go for masters .She had done all her professional certifications and I told her just get that masters in now if you want it cos believe me its harder (not saying its impossible) with work, juggling little children so just do it now when you have less responsibilities . She is half way through now and will most likely be rounding up by around her wedding date. I personally don't think marriage itself is the hard to juggle bit esp with an understanding spouse but motherhood is. It might not be readily available elsewhere but in Europe parents to under 5's have the right (within reasonable limits and if you can convince your employer it won't affect your productivity) to ask for flexible working. So depending on what works for you or the nature of your job you could job share, compress your hours (eg if you work 35 hours work it over 3 or 4 days so you have some time off) part time hours etc. Sometimes long hours does not actually equal productivity so being able to prioritise work load is not only good for family life but for one's general well being. Let me go and finish some work (let me add try to spend less time on NL it affects productivity ) took a break to think of how to compose a letter and iv spent 20 mins. |
chaircover:I agree based on all the things she has replied I don't think she can and you know what in a way I think its actually a good thing that she is voicing out this niggling thoughts in her mind. I stopped talking so much about this issue cos in law things naa and it was beginning to be like' it seems you too are taking her side'.She is also older than I am so it was beginning to be like 'kini omo kekere e mo' meaning 'what does your young naive self know'. I am very good with teenagers and for some reason they always seem to open up to me (maybe because I am a funky aunty ) just joking but I guess its easier to deal with other people's teenagers than yours.I have actually done a few courses on dealing with young people and head the childrens and youth ministry in church so I guess that helps and I tend to listen to them and tell them 'why' mum and dad seem to always say no to everything.So I used this same tactic with her, went shopping with her , asked her opinion on my make up and hair just ways to draw her out of her shell (she disappears to her room whenever her stepmum is home).And to her she can never do anything right and her stepmum criticises her ALL the time.I told her once ,you know what my mum used to criticise me all the time as a teenager too.But it was from a place of love.So try not see it as criticism and try to help out at home.She says when she even tries aunty says she did not do it well. I tried my to tell my inlaw to praise her sometimes when she tries.My issue is my inlaw might be right about some of those criticisms but she has taken the stance of 'you are kuku not my child so let me concentrate on my child'. She feels her dad has spoilt her but I can feel the man's dilemma. Its a tricky situation cos this girl mother is even dead (she actually died at childbirth It's all just complicated sha.And even though I know sometimes she might be right sometimes the husband and girl too have a point.This is an issue that has almost broken the marriage if not for wisdom and God. (my mum sef has mediated once before). In the UK esp I know a no of couples with children from prev relationships and it takes alot of maturity to ensure less drama. Which is why I am relating all this to OP to see its not an easy ride. If you can't stand the heat don't get in the kitchen in the first place. |
chaircover: don't blame awon bobos.I have always wondered why it seems vals is a bigger deal in Nigeria than even here sef ![]() |
babyosisi:Cold and Hard Questions you must ask yourself I know someone quite close to me who married a man who was a widower and had a young daughter.You know what 98% of the issues they have had (these are her own words not mine) stems from her thinking he is taking the daughter's side.OP its easy now cos 4 yr olds love everyone think teenage years when teenage girls don't even get along with their own mums not to talk of a stepmum.I feel so sad about how bad the relationship has degenerated to (girl just finished Uni and is bidding time till she moves out) they don't even talk and put the poor man in the middle. When I tell my own person that she is the older person and probably could have handled this girl better as me and the girl have a rapport she says its ok for me to say as I don't live with her.She is always moaning she is lazy, she leaves her plate in the sink, she won't help me cook, etc etc but after a few disagreements on how she might have handled it if it was her own child (by the way her own child is much younger and she swears that her own child can never be like that as a teenager ) I just learnt to shut my mouth and mind my own business.I know how much she moaned when her hubby bought the girl am ipad while her own 7 yr old had a blackberry playbook, xbox, DS, in short every gadget kids have these days.She even moans that hubby was always broke and they could not go on holidays because he was supporting his own child through Uni when the 'lazy' girl refused to get a job like she and her mates did while in Uni (not a bad suggestion but motive is my grouse here uni education vs holidays).Funny enough they got married when the girl was little and had lil or no issues then but issues started coming up as the girl hit puberty.I know teenagers are difficult sometimes and I really don't have the right to judge or think I would do a better job because the girl seems to like me as I am not in those shoes but girl I wrote this long epistle to let you know that it might not be easy. My own father used to take sides with me against my mum sometimes in my teenage years and looking back it used to annoy my mum to no end but there was probably no resentment as I was her child.We used to get 'a to yin tii' meaning 'I leave you people to it' or 'maybe you will marry your father' but it was all good natured.Who knows how she or I myself that I am talking might have taken it as a stepmum? Think looong and hard about it cos what I tell this my person is you knew he had this child and married him anyway so please stop expecting it to be a me vs her thing. |
Who was the person who decided that Elections should be on Valentine's day in Nigeria naa? Why dey wan spoil business for people naa? ![]() |
Onegai: Well said!!!especially that prayers bit.I always say its so easy to be 'christian' for the maximum of 10hrs (if that sef) we spend in church weekly.But the real test is in fruits we bear in our daily lives esp how we treat those we think we are better than or stand to gain nothing from. |

armyofone:I don't necessarily agree with the dont go to church part Knowing God intimately (not necessarily church going sha) is actually a way by which you can curb that urge for revenge or payback .Na we go church pass but these days (myself inclusive sometimes I am asking for more grace)but I struggle to actually see in us the fruits of the faith that we actually profess.I however agree that there is alot of pent up stress and frustrations which if not properly handled could lead to psychotic breakdowns like this. Going through a divorce is an upheaval in anyone's life and if proper mental or psychological help is not sought some people just go bonkers . something small and they tip over the edge. |
chaircover: Don't worry you can go ahead you don't live in Houston so you are safe. ![]() |
pickabeau1:When there is no love in the first place why won't there be 'pushing to snap' and 'snapping'..I know people say there is a thin line between love and hate but I honestly can't get the kind 'love' that even when it goes south will actively seek to destroy or kill the other party. I agree that some women overdo the whole 'women have rights in the west' thing but in a way I also think it serves some of our brothers who think 'all these abroad born girls are not submissive' and then go to import a wife without actually knowing her right abit (and I am saying this as a partially imported wife ).Hubby knows someone who actually went to naija to marry (MARRY not see MARRY) someone he had never met all cos he believed 'he can't marry someone that will be proving rights and arguing with him'..like seriously .Except you marry a mannequin how on earth do you expect to live with another human being and never argue or have divergent opinions. I don't think some people realise that sometimes a persons character is a culmination of orientation, values,life experiences etc and not necessarily location or where you live. Some of the most well mannered calm and easygoing women I know were born or raised in the west from relatively well to do families. All these saviour ' I saved her from poverty and brought her to america' complex does not seem to be worth the hassle of 'not marrying all these ones that will be proving right' ![]() |
